After winning the WFL tournament, Murat entered the Mix Fight four man tournament, during Mix Fight 27.[11] He suffered his first professional loss to James McSweeney by TKO, after the ringside doctor stopped the fight in the second round due to a cut.[12]

Aygün won a unanimous decision over Mohamed El Bouchaibi during Enfusion 95.[13]

He was scheduled to fight Levi Rigters during Enfusion 96 for the Super Heavyweight title,[14] but the fight fell through due to a disagreement between Rigters and Enfusion co-promoter Ringfight Promotions.[15]
